Borodianka (Ukrainian: Бородянка, pronounced [boroˈdʲɑnkɐ]) is a rural settlement in Bucha Raion, Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine.

On the second day after the start of the German-Soviet War, the first echelons of those drafted into the Red Army were sent west from Borodyanka Station.

On 8 November 1943 Borodianka was liberated by the Soviet regiments of 75th Guards Rifle Division from the occupation of Nazi Germany.

The village received a great impetus in its development with the construction of a branch of the Kyiv manufacturer "Red Excavator" (ATEK) (director - Kyryliuk VH, 19.11.1939 - 09.07.2002), which began in 1974.

During his leadership, a housing estate for collective farmers was built, production was significantly expanded with the introduction of processing shops.

In 1986, as a result of the Chernobyl accident, the village, as well as the entire Borodyanka district, was assigned to the zone of enhanced radioecological control.

[9] Russian troops blew up bridges and blockaded the area — leaving survivors to starve as supplies couldn't reach the town.

By 30 March 2022, as the Russian forces — bogged down in a stalemate around Kyiv — withdrew to their launch point in Belarus, Borodianka had been devastated, its residential blocks left in ruins[11] and civilians trapped in rubble.

[12] Inhabitants reported that Russian troops were deliberately targeting them and blocking rescue efforts during their presence in the area.

[16] Distribution of the population by native language according to the 2001 census:[17] During the Cold War it was home to the Borodianka Air Base.

The Borex [20] manufacturing and distributing company is there too, it provides fuel making equipment from China's Gemco Anyang and machines for processing agricultural products.

In the village there are 3 specialized secondary schools with in-depth study of individual subjects, a school of arts, and three kindergartens; an agricultural lyceum, which trains mechanics, drivers, gas and electric welders, indoor vegetable growers and cooks; a central district hospital and pharmacy; three pharmacies under private ownership; a nursing home (Korotenchikha Voryuga); and a dog shelter.

A monument of art is a bust of Taras Shevchenko by sculptor MP Mishchuk, erected in August 1999 on the square named after the poet.
